The Great Transition

What if much of what you call your nature is only the season you live in?

A future civilisation looks back at our time and gives us what we could not see from within: that the harshness with which we treated life was not our nature, it was the season we lived in, and that, without knowing it, we had already begun to cross a threshold.

The question the book asks

What is a human being when it no longer needs to live in a state of threat?

What it is

This is not a self-help book. It is the investigation of a hypothesis at the scale of the species: much of what we call human nature, the vigilance, the hurry, the hunger to accumulate, the guilt of resting, may be history, adaptation to millennia of scarcity, and not destiny. What was learned can be relearned otherwise.

The crossing

Survival

living not to die

Fissure

loss and possibility

Emergence

to create and to mean

A taste

Much of what we call human nature may be no nature at all. It may be history.

None of this began in you. It reached you, inherited.

These pages promise nothing. They offer a change of light over the present, so that certain pains stop looking like personal failings and reveal themselves as the mark of an age that lasted too long. By Vivianne dos Santos.
